Tool-flo 563662LN4C Grooving Insert FLG3062 GP50 Left Hand

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 563662LN4C is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the FLG-3062L ISO code and manufactured in the GP50 grade, this left-hand insert features a TiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and surface finish on a range of workpiece materials including stainless steel. The cutting width measures 1.57 mm (0.0618 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 3.05 mm (0.1201 inches), making it well suited for narrow-groove applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. It belongs to TOOL-FLO's Flo-Lock series and carries a positive rake geometry for reduced cutting forces.

This insert is intended for use in metal cutting environments where tight groove tolerances are required. The left-hand orientation suits specific toolholder configurations used in turning operations on materials such as stainless steel and other materials in the C5 and C6 material grade range. It is a single-use insert - not a multi-use tool - and is replaced at end of life rather than reground. Machinists and CNC operators in production shops and job shops are the primary installers of this insert type.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications and verify insert seating before resuming cutting operations.
